Love That Wasn't Meant to Last novel Chapter 66

Seeing that I remained silent, Selena let the matter drop. She only added in a disgruntled tone, "If I had known it would turn out like this, I would've made you stick to the contract with my company back then."

I had signed an agreement with her company, where they would cover four years of my tuition in exchange for at least five years of employment after graduation.

But once I started working there, I realized I was assigned to difficult tasks or impossible projects.

The workload was intense. It took tremendous mental and physical energy. By the end of the summer internship during my third year, I had lost 15 pounds.

When I returned to school, Selena saw my sharp jawline and skinny collarbones and nearly cried.

"This isn't a platform for you to showcase your skills. They are exploiting you. For work worth tens of thousands, they're paying you just five thousand a month. They're not helping you. They're using you as cheap labor."

That experience made her realize how cruel the company could be.

After I graduated, she used her influence to pressure the company into terminating my contract. Since they had breached the agreement first, I didn't have to pay any penalties.

Looking at her now, I felt a pang of mixed emotions.

I was grateful for how she had helped me then. But I couldn't force my feelings for her, no matter how hard I tried.

I hadn't yet found the words to explain this when there was a knock at the door. It sounded different than usual.

I frowned, walked over, and opened the door, only to see Andy standing there. She wasn't dressed in her usual work attire or a skirt but wore a casual outfit instead. Her style was so different, so it took me a moment to recognize her.

Seeing my face, Andy smiled. "I'm here! Is my contract ready yet?"
